blog 18-rebroadcasting alo's weekday shows!!!

NEW BROADCAST SCHEDULE BRINGS SIRIUS UNDERGROUND GARAGE DJ TO LATE NIGHTS ON WEST COAST

ANDREW LOOG OLDHAM PROGRAM NOW RE-AIRS WEEKNIGHTS AT 9PM PACIFIC

SIRIUS Satellite Radio’s Underground Garage/ 25, an extension of the critically acclaimed syndicated radio show Little Steven’s Underground Garage, will now cater to those crazy California teenagers as “The Andrew Loog Oldham Program” will air from 9pm until midnight PT on the west coast starting immediately.

For the first time since Little Steven’s Underground Garage started broadcasting on Sirius in 2004, there will be a DJ heard after 9 PM on the West Coast. Andrew Loog Oldham, the legendary manager and producer of the Rolling Stones from 1963-1967and one of the original Underground Garage DJs at Sirius, has held the weekday morning spot on the East Coast (Monday through Friday; 8 AM – 11 AM Eastern Time) since February of 2007. Now his daily show is being rebroadcast so Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and all points west will hear his often hilarious candid observations, first-person insights, and musical expertise in the evening.

“I love all of our DJ’s but Andrew is the Govn’er,” says Little Steven. “We have him on every day because I simply cannot imagine getting through the day without him. It occurred to me recently (I have no excuse really) that the only time the west coast could hear him was 5 to 8 in the morning which is fine if you’re an actor but if you’re a relatively normal human being it might be a bit early, so here you go."

Everybody Must Get Stoned

The Underground Garage is proud to introduce another feature in our ongoing efforts at increasing the level of communication between Steven, the UG crew and you, the listener. The first DJ aboard is Andrew Loog Oldham. Andrew broadcasts on weekdays from 8-11am EST, Saturday from 4-8pm, and Sunday from 12-4pm. He started his life as a PR for early UK rock'n roll tours representing the Beatles; Chris Montez; Little Eva; Gerry & the Pacemakers; Billy J. Kramer & the Dakotas ; Sam Cooke; Little Richard and the first UK visit of Bob Dylan. From 1963 to 67 he managed and produced the Rolling Stones and Marianne Faithfull. His Immediate Records gave the world important recordings by the Small Faces; John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers ; Rod Stewart; Chris Farlowe; the Nice ; P.P. Arnold; Jimmy Page; Jeff Beck; Eric Clapton; the Amen Corner; the McCoys ; the Strangeloves; the Keith Richard Aranbee Orchestra; Humble Pie. He has recorded Jimmy Cliff; Donovan; los Ratones Paranoicos; the Andrew Oldham Orchestra and Charly Garcia. He is the author of two acclaimed editions of autobiography, Stoned & 2Stoned and brings that wealth of experience daily to the very foundation of the UG. Enjoy !
